ruler, except the Gar, is so guarded |
when journeying as the Queen. A cor
respondent at Osborne gives the follow
ing account of the methods adopted to |
guard against accident: The Royal |
party crossed from the private pier to |
Gosport and by way of Stafford, Car |
Isle and Perth to Ballater in a special |
train of day and night saloons provided |
by the London and Northwestern Rail- |
way Company. The regulations for Her
Majesty's journey filled several foolscap
pages, including time tables, which Oc-
cupied two pages. Specified regulations
were provided for the pilot engine, &C
companied by the locomotive superin-
tendents of the particular districts trav-
eled over and by a guard with lamps,
flags and fog signals. The pilot engine
proceeded the Royal train at uniform
rate Of speed and fifteen minutes in adj
vance. The drivers and firemen, as
we'll as engines for the Royal train,
were specially selected. A lookout was
placed on the tender of the engine and
seated with his face toward the engine
to observe any signal that might be
given by the occupants.
For thirty minutes previous to the
Queens coming no train was permitted
to proceed upon or cross the main line,
the pilot engine alone excepted. On the
up line also it was commanded that
drivers must reduce their speed to ten
miles an hour, and on no account to
whistle when passing Her Majesty's
train. In this manner the Queen went
across England. The monster engine
rushed by fifteen minutes afterwards.
The lights of the Queens train flashed
past, and then, after a pause, the hand
of discipline was partly relaxed and the
line assumed it's normal condition.
The Queen was supplied with special
timetable, printed elegantly in mauve
on thick white paper, bordered in gold
and surmounted by the Royal arms.
The timetable showed the hours of ar
rival and departure, the duration of each
stop and the distance between the sta
tons. The time was regulated by Her
Majesty's wishes, signiied beforehand.
LONDON, August 25th.-It is expected
that there will be serious times in Ireland
after the adjournment of Parliament.
All of the Irish members expect to be
prosecuted and imprisoned. Harrington,
Secretary of the National League, told
me to-day that the prosecution of
O'Brien, he believes, would result in
conviction and six months imprison-
ment, although he was not being prose-
cuted under the Coercion Act. Said he {:
owe expect prosecutions and are pre-
pared to go to prison in asserting our
rights. Our Imprisonment will only has
ten Home Rule. 1t will probably cause
revolt among the Democracy of Eng
! land. ParneI has been in Ireland adj
vising the leaders for the last three days
! He returned to London this evening.
| He is the only one of the Irish members
| who breads imprisonment, and that is
owing to the feeble condition of his
health"
| NoGALEs, A T., August 20th.-For
more than two months there has been a
| great fatality among the residents OF
! Hermsillo and Guaymas, and also in
other towns and cities in Mexico, from a
disease called Sardinia fever" This
fever is a good deal like Tonic fever, but
is more painful to the patient. The
Mexicans say it is caused by the wash
! ing ashore of dead fish, and that medical
attention will not arrest it's ravages. The
! physicians explanation of the disease
agrees with those of the natives, that it
| is caused by the washing ashore of a
! great number of small fish, and the
name given the fish was sardines, hence
! the name.
SALT LAKE CITY, August 20th.-The
remains of the late John Taylor were ex-
| humed to-day and placed in a massive
granite sepulchre, which had been pre-
pared for them. The vault is built of
large blocks of granite, girded together
! by steel bolts. The remains OF Taylor
! and one of his wives were placed in the
| vault, and a capstone weighing tour and
| a half tons placed on it. Only the mem
bers of the family were present.

to-day that the English Government

nabalism, the Lieutenant Governor
laughed and said that he lid not think
/ so.
